A Polish network of the Universities of the Third Age (UTA) has been experiencing dynamic development. The institutions not only meet numerous and diversified cognitive and social needs of seniors but also provide space for scientific research, some of which focus on the processes of teaching and learning foreign languages. What are they? How do they function? Why have representatives of glottodidactics noticed them so late? How can they serve the needs of glottodidactic research? These are key questions worth being answered while investigating the phenomenon of UTAs from the perspective of glottodidactics. Finding a relevant answer is also the main objective of this paper.
